In the ever-evolving landscape of modern workspaces, creating an environment that balances privacy with aesthetic appeal can be challenging. Addressing this need, KFI Studios has collaborated with Union Design to introduce Calm, a stylish and versatile privacy partition system. Designed to elevate office spaces without compromising on design, these partitions offer both functionality and flexibility, transforming workplaces into hubs of creativity and focus, rather than resembling enclosed voting booths.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Designer: Union Design
Brand: KFI Studios
Material: Recycled Plastic Felt
One of the standout features of Calm is its innovative use of materials and design. Crafted from recycled plastic felt, these screens boast a distinctive fluted pattern that lends an air of sophistication without being stuffy. The choice of sustainable materials not only supports environmental responsibility but also ensures that the partitions resonate with the modern ethos of eco-conscious design. The robust yet elegant construction allows the screens to complement any office layout, proving that privacy can indeed pair well with style.
Calm distinguishes itself through its unparalleled versatility. The system is modular, allowing for a myriad of configurations to suit diverse workspace needs. Whether you require an L-shaped, Zigzag, or even a bold Star-shaped arrangement, Calm adapts effortlessly. This flexibility is particularly beneficial in hybrid workspaces where the demand for dynamic and adaptable furniture solutions is on the rise. Each panel can connect using six steel brackets, ensuring stability while offering countless options for personalization and space optimization.
KFI Studios’ CEO, Chris Smith, emphasizes the importance of such flexibility in today’s work environments, which often include hot desks and require adaptable solutions. As the lines between personal and professional spaces blur, the need for quiet time and personal space becomes critical. Calm effectively addresses these challenges by providing personalized privacy whenever and wherever it’s needed. The screens are available in three shapes – a straight screen, a straight screen with a rounded side, and a curved screen – allowing users to tailor their workspace to their specific requirements.
The thoughtfully chosen color palette of Calm – comprising Charcoal, Grey, and Stone – enriches its adaptability, enabling it to blend seamlessly into various environments. This neutral palette ensures that the partitions are both understated yet distinct, harmonizing with KFI’s existing range of furniture. For those looking to create a private seating zone, pairing Calm with the Conversa Modular Lounge can create cozy, inviting spaces. Meanwhile, combining the curved screens with Dotti Lounge chairs offers a retreat that is as functional as it is inviting.
In conclusion, KFI Studios’ Calm privacy partitions present an innovative solution for modern offices striving to strike a balance between style and functionality. By integrating thoughtful design with sustainable materials, these partitions serve as an upgrade for any workspace looking to adapt to contemporary demands. The seamless integration with other KFI products only enhances its appeal, making it the go-to solution for creating adaptable, personalized, and stylish environments in any office setting.
